Almost done with this, just need to fill out the two sects. Let me know if anything needs to be changed.

[b]Purpose:[/b] Founded near the end of the First Age by the remnants of the Imperial Engineering Corp and a group of three human magi who made themselves biologically immortal via the use of time magic, or chronomancy as it's also known, the Watchers exist to find, copy, and preserve all forms of knowledge they can get their hands on, in addition to ensuring the ancient school of chronomancy is not abused by other magic users. To this end the Watchers have a sub sect within their ranks that monitors and handles misuses of time magic out in the world.

Orāre[/url], these specialized members use various forms of divination to gaze into Vrenorza in order to locate mages who may be abusing their powers over time. Once the targets have been found, the Orāre will contact the individual personally and advise them to exercise caution when manipulating time. Should the individual in question refuse to do so, however, they will be... [I]dealt with.[/I]

[b]Origin:[/b] Disgusted by the terrible loss of both life and information brought about by the War Of Eternal Hunger, these remnants of the formerly united Draetorin Empire built a great machine fueled by pure mana and used it to tear open a portal to another plane of existence called Aroth, where they then relocated; but not before using this same device to initiate a self destruct sequence that would not only sink the island it was on but send out an arcane shockwave as well. A shockwave that would tear across the planet, permanently deactivating or destroying all magitech used by the Empire and plunging its inhabitants into a technological dark age in the hope that another such conflict, one that poisoned the sea and rent the land, would never happen again.

Judging from the world's current state, it seems they were successful.

A city sized library staffed by autonomous mana crystal powered dragonfly-like drones referred to simply as [url=https://i.pinimg.com/736x/36/0e/dd/360edddc7791289dca9aa32d35aabaf4.jpg]Indexes[/url], the Athenaeum is split up into three different rings, the center of which houses the Watchers immortal leaders along with several sleeping quarters, training grounds, workshops for the engineers, food storage and preparation area's, etc; while the other two are devoted entirely towards information storage. Speaking of information storage, rather than using books or scrolls that can rot away over time, the Watchers employ coal colored metal cubes with crimson highlights called [url=https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/b/abstract-cube-gothic-clock-watch-vector-02-19327214.jpg]Codex's[/url] that are capable of having information transcribed onto them via [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/criticalrole/images/1/1b/Fun_Ball_of_Tricks_by_BlackSalander.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20181215083444]Oculari[/url]-palm sized bronze spheres covered in arcane etchings-the standard recording device used by all Watchers out in Vrenorza. It is also here that the most advanced of Draetorin magitech resides, keeping the great city-library suspended in the middle of a massive sinkhole at the center of the realm into which the infinite sea drains.

In order to travel to and from the Athenaeum, Quaerens-men and women whose mission is to venture out into Vrenorza to gather knowledge and supplies-use [url=https://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/steampunk_gauntlets_3.jpg]Porta[/url]; magical gauntlets traditionally worn on the right hand, underneath a sleeve or other such article of clothing. Powered by mana crystals, like much of the technology they employ, the device has three primary buttons that control its three main functions. The first button acts as the main way of recharging the device. Holding a mana crystal in the hand on which the glove is worn, the user would then press the purplish button on its right side to initiate the energy siphoning process. Once this is done, the crystal will have either shrunk significantly-as energy was drained-or vanished entirely if all its energy reserves have been used up. In regards to the other two buttons, each one serves an individual purpose. The one closest to the wearers elbow transports them back to a designated arrival room in the Athenaeum, while the one closer to the users hand sends them to a random location in Vrenorza, generally the outskirts of a well known city or some other such remote place. It should be noted that these gloves can be destroyed as well and rendered as useless as they would be if they had ran out of charge.

On the opposite side of this however, the Orāre use standard portal magics as they are trained to rely on it more than anything else. Quaerens, however, are far too varied in terms of personal skills in order for this to be an effective means of transport, hence the need for Porta.

A plane of endless stormy seas and troubled gray skies, Aroth is a strange realm to say the least. Its history unknown, even the Watchers have not yet figured out just who or what made this place, nor who may or may not have inhabited it before them.
